Non scale victory! Overcoming emotional eating
Early this morning my son's cat, Uno, died in my arms from chronic renal failure. Normally a traumatic event like this would send me in a spiral of food cravings and me giving in to them. I am proud to report even though my heart is heavy and my eyes are damp with tears, I have not had one bout of emotional eating today.…

How do you make your goals?
So, how do you make your personal weight loss goals? What makes you stick to them every day? I don't think I have a weight loss goal. Just to feel better. My ultimate goal is to healthier than I was before and not to EVER weigh 220 lbs again!! Numbers don't seem to mean too much to me because I'm losing inches and the…

I am so excited
This morning I weighed in at 199.9 lbs. This is such a good feeling. I started at 235 lbs. but when I got on myfitnesspal I was at 233. A while back, I got a more accurate scale that reads 5 lbs lighter, so there is a big blip in my chart but even with that, I have lost over 30 lbs. My goal is 180. I am 6'3" and 49 years…

Unbelievably psyched
Okay, I know that people are probably getting sick of me sharing stuff, but I just went shopping today. There are an absolute ton of sales on today at JC Penney's, so decided to go and check it out. I have been reducing in size so dramatically, clothing wise, I thought if they have Worthington dress pants in size 4 on sale…

Asthma schmasma
I apologize for how long this is bound to be, but I have a lot to say! :bigsmile: I've been dieting since July 2010, but only joined MyFitnessPal about a month or so ago at the recommendation of my sister. I was stagnant at 37 pounds lost, but joining here really jumpstarted my weight loss once again. I was browsing the…

New nice *kitten* jeans!
I've lost 58lbs since April 14th by ust keeping a food diary and being active when I can (no extreme diets or workouts). The pounds have been shedding slowly but surely and I keep having to buy new jeans because the old ones are too baggy. Tonight I bought a pair of "damn, my *kitten* looks good" jeans. What's even better…

My first real 5K run after graduating the C25K program
This morning I did a 5K charity run to benefit the Children's Miracle Network. I finished in a respectable (for me) 27 minutes, 10th overall, and third in my age group. I realize this wasn't a "serious race" or I would have come in much further behind the pack leaders, but considering that 6 months ago I could barely…

Reached my 1st Goal
YEAH! Under my first goal of 200lbs. I have lost 32 lbs in less than 2 months. My husband is getting me a haircut, I am singing "I'm getting a haircut, I'm getting a haircut". LOL!.Most people say that is not a great reward, but to me it is; especially when all my money is spent on food to achieve my weight loss. How…

Funny how the phrase.. I've got nothing to wear..
Can go from being a statement of frustration to one that I am happy to say!! 3 months ago I would often say "i've got nothing to wear"..meaning nothing fit/everything was tight/nothing looked good. And now I can say that same phrase because all my clothes are TOO BIG!! I am more than happy to say "I've got nothing to wear"…

Small victories
I know that this isn't that big of a deal, but last night I managed to go out to eat, go out with friends and get a little tipsy....all without sacrificing my calories. I think that this is one of the first times I've ever done this. I stared down the bar cheese fries and ignored them!

How much does a stone weigh?
I've lost a stone (14 pounds) in 8 weeks. It's been jolly hard work with a breastfeeding 1 year old, two bouts of flu and not much freedom to schedule in running etc. I've noticed my general fitness increased - I can run 20 minutes at 5mil/hour now whereas 8 weeks ago I could only run for 5 mins without stopping. And my…

Clothes shopping

Who has reached their weight loss goals?
I think this would be so motivating and would love to hear any successes anyone may have. I want to know how long did it take you and if you reached any plateaus during your journey? I am nearly halfway through mine and so far only hit one weight loss plateau. It took a while coming off the first 3 months and then came to…

Small victories
I've been exercising in absolutely microscopic quantities, because I've been entirely sedentary (mostly bedridden) for more than three years now and because I've got fibromyalgia and overdoing physical activity will trigger a flare quicker than anything else I know of. So it's been five minutes here and five minutes there.…

Cleaning out the closet
Just got done cleaning out my closet. Four garbage bags full of 3xl and 4xl shirts, also 48 and 50 size pants. Went and bought XL and XXL Shirts tonight also 42 and 44 pants...That felt really good I have to say!! i really had no idea I would fit in a XL shirt or even a 42 size pair of blue jeans!!

Boots!!
I have been dieing to wear some boots. Women are looking so cute with the fall season in their boots. Last night, I was browsing online for wide-calf boots and it always directed me to Avenue (plus size store) and Lane Bryant. So always, and I mean always, I could never wear over the calf boots. I settled for ankle boots.…

Feeling very good about my progress right now
Every month our agency has a mandatory meeting for administrative personnel. This meeting is designed to provide updates regarding the various issues/concerns/celebrations/progress on goals set. The idea is that we will all be well informed about things and everyone is kept in the proverbial loop. Well, right now our…

I Have Shorts!
This morning, inspired by some posts from others about clothes they had outshrunk and were throwing away and hitting 12 lbs lost, I just for fun dug out my size 10 pile of pants- and they fit! Just doubled my pants wardrobe! Then I remembered these size 10 shorts that just a month ago even I couldn't get near buttoning…

Your Small NSV!
Sometimes we get so focused on the "big picture" (well in our case making the big picture into a smaller one :laugh: ) that we forget the little things that make us realize we are in control! So I was thinking we could put together some of the little day to day things that show us we are on the right track! My boyfriend…

just noticed...a bum story
So I was getting dressed, and I looked behind me, and then looked back. Then I quickly looked back once more...AND SAW...NO BUM! my butt disapeared! I looked again...and finally went and looked in the mirror. I know I had lost some weight and I know my butt had gotten smaller, but usually when I look behind me the…
